@highdefdigest @MEnoisDuarte The feedback/tips/submission forms don't work on your site as the captcha is broken. There's also a small error in the A Better Tomorrow Trilogy 4K review if I can tell someone that can fix it.

@dubesinhower @ElectriX_DC IIRC, with HBA you're paying more to power your system, but I don't know what the current consensus is.

[timquility @timquility]

@dubesinhower @ElectriX_DC IDK how much pwr/$ sata-pcie saves over hba, but 16 port sata-pcie was cheaper than smaller #-of-drives hba a year ago, so it was an easy choice. 16 port syba pci card was $100 on ebay then... now the 8 port card is $120. The non-sas connections are kind of annoying but whatever

@dubesinhower @ElectriX_DC Sata multipliers v sata multiplexers... I can't remember which to avoid, the forum covers it

[timquility @timquility]

@dubesinhower @ElectriX_DC U need to avoid sata multiplexers and marvell controllers if going pcie-sata, many pcie-sata cards will use 1xASM chip with multiplexer(s) so you have to review carefully. I can't remember but these might be the sources I used: https://t.co/LjRJBk9HnG & https://t.co/LlvY54mJTx

@leonkiriliuk @jeffqchen @jormungandrizer @Arthrimus I had one of these: https://t.co/BcKO61Kj0r

No native mp3 support and crappy software, not sure why I went this direction. Maybe because of itunes drm?

[timquility @timquility]

@PeacefulOutcome Remove, but 1.6 you need to alter two resistors so that it will still power on (per @redherring32): https://t.co/ajOX1fVbST @DerfJagged

@lonseidman I think @HDRetrovision found a good way out of QuickBucks, if that appeals

[timquility @timquility]

@KytorIndustries But did your knight win?

[timquility @timquility]

@KytorIndustries @BlueShell3D @BlueShell3D prefers to handmake all of his products with a 3d printing pen... chef's kiss...

@ToddsNerdCave Did you keep the joystick? Mine is still sitting on a shelf unassembled 😂

@dtoxmilenko I do not recommend fucking with a hippo - one of the more dangerous animals on Earth.

[timquility @timquility]

@leonkiriliuk @PixelFXco No worries, and completely agree it's still great. I prbly don't need the final fw, just being 'complete'. I believe DCHDMI/DCdigital HW1 are interchangeable names, I think they took hdmi out of the name to avoid the hdmi consortium's scrutiny/extortionate fees.

[timquility @timquility]

@leonkiriliuk @PixelFXco "DC"dig"HW1" - not n64dig/HW2 - it isn't listed on that page. IIRC I read that it was more work to get the final DC HW1 fw and the updater stopped working. I don't see a download on pixelfx or github, but when I get around to it, I'll research more or email Dan (who is great).

@qwertymodo Even cheaper here: https://t.co/dC697KcOmt
$39 after I logged in, -$4 with coupon: USSS04

[timquility @timquility]

@qwertymodo @Epson That was my going to be my one exclusion, but I wasn't sure if it was still true.
